Reborn as a Beggar, Yet I Topple the Tyrant

The Emperor's Reign is a historical novel about a low-ranking soldier named Chen Jing, who leads a rebellion to overthrow the villainous tyrant and ascend the throne.

Qi Yun transmigrates into the novel as a beggar.

Other beggars at least get to become emperors. He can't even count on having food from one day to the next.

One day, the System finally comes online: You are a cannon-fodder character in this book. The male lead is about to collapse, badly wounded, at your doorstep. Host, humiliate him in body and spirit to your heart's content. Earn humiliation points to exchange for food.

Qi Yun is starving. Without thinking twice, he starts humiliating the wounded male lead lying outside his broken temple.

No matter how much he mocks him, the male lead doesn't react.

Just when Qi Yun despairs of starving to death, he takes the male lead's hand and gives it a tug.

Humiliation points +1

His eyes light up. He goes over and kisses the male lead.

Humiliation points +10

Then he bathes with him and licks him.

Humiliation points +50

The male lead's eyes blaze with fury, murderous intent churning in their depths, as if he's about to declare, “The east bank of the river may be down today, but in thirty years it'll be my turn to rule!”

Qi Yun gets it.

To save up enough humiliation points for food, he bundles the male lead into bed and does everything, both proper and improper.

Afterward, the male lead glares at him, gritting his teeth. “I'll tear you limb from limb.”

Qi Yun boldly presses down on him. “Don't blame me. The tyrant forced me to humiliate you like this!”

The male lead falls strangely silent and gives him a long look.

After that, Qi Yun holds the man every day, kissing and nuzzling him, while solemnly shifting the blame.

“The tyrant told me to kiss you.”

“The tyrant told me to hold you.”

“The tyrant told me to call you my wife.”

The male lead's gaze grows stranger by the day.

To earn humiliation points for food, Qi Yun has worn the male lead out more than once.

Qi Yun feels entirely justified. He buys the male lead food and drink, moves him into a bigger house and locks him inside, then spends every day cuddling and rubbing against him to rack up humiliation points.

Until one day, the real male lead shows up.

Only then does Qi Yun realize that the person he's been humiliating all this time is the original novel's villainous tyrant, a man who kills without blinking.

The tyrant has slaughtered so many people that their bodies could make a city wall. He'd even hack his own kin to pieces and feed them to the dogs.

And Qi Yun has spent three months wearing him out in bed.

Qi Yun is so terrified he nearly drops to his knees.

Is it too late to end it all now?

Behind him, the tyrant lifts an eyelid, his smile unreadable. “Go on. Tell me how I forced you to sleep with me.”
